Bruins Eyeing Brock Boeser to Bolster Forward Lineup
The Boston Bruins may enhance their offensive capabilities during the upcoming NHL free agency period. Speculation surrounds a potential pursuit of Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser, a move that could significantly impact the Bruins’ scoring ability.
Boeser’s Potential Departure
Following the Canucks’ season conclusion, Boeser indicated a low likelihood of re-signing with Vancouver, opening the door for him to explore free agency. The Bruins are keeping a watchful eye as the player prepares for the open market.

Boeser, 28, is coming off his third consecutive season with over 50 points. This underscores his consistent scoring ability, which could bring a significant boost to Boston’s offensive firepower. In the 2024-25 season, he recorded 50 points through 75 games.
Bruins’ Strategic Opportunity
Boeser‘s potential addition would not only elevate Boston’s scoring output but also introduce further consistency to the Bruins’ forward group. His sharp shooting ability makes him a threat from any point on the ice.
With the NHL free agency set to begin on July 1 at 12 p.m. ET, Boeser is projected to be in the range of a six-year deal worth around $8.46 million annually. According to CapFriendly, the Bruins possess cap space to make a move. Thus, a deal for Boeser is a real possibility.
